Summer Season | Why Is India Experiencing Heatwaves In March?

Feeling the summer heat already? You're not alone. Many parts of India are experiencing intense temperatures, with the IMD issuing heatwave alerts for Delhi, Karnataka, Goa, and Jharkhand. On March 15, Odisha's Boudh recorded a scorching 43.6°C, making it the hottest place in the country, followed by Jharsuguda and Bolangir. Experts attribute this early heat surge to climate change, shifting weather patterns, terrestrial warming, and urbanisation. With February marking the hottest in 124 years, March is already shaping up to be even hotter-weeks before peak summer begins.
